Man, I am just breezing through Kentaro Yabuki’s “Black Cat” series like crazy and
this series just continues to get better every time I read each volume!Well, Train and the gang continue to fight
their way through Creed’s secret hideout in this volume, “Black Cat
Volume 17: Coming Through” and things just get even more intense than ever
before!

After Train and River’s battle with Shiki, they finally enter Creed’s
secret hideout and they meet up with Eve and Kevin. Once there, they also have
a brief meeting with Creed who then decides to kill Train due to the fact that Train
changed his goal from avenging Saya’s death to just capturing Creed as a member
of the Sweeper Alliance.Later on,
Train, River, Eve and Kevin met up with two other members of the Sweeper
Alliance, who happened to be mind-controlled by the Doctor in fighting Train and
the gang!

Can Train and the
gang risk defeating their alliances and what kind of sick game is the doctor
playing?

Read this
volume to find out!

What can I say?Kentaro
Yabuki has done it again with creating interesting scenarios for the character
development for the characters, especially with the development of both Train
and Eve.It is amazing to see how much both
Train and Eve changed from their original appearances and how their goals in
life had changed during the course of this series!The fact that Train changed his goals from
going after Saya’s murderer with vengeance to just arresting Creed as a Sweeper
shows how much character development Train went through in this series as he is
now trying to be more calm about the situation with Creed and it seems that he
realizes that going after Creed in anger is not going to help Saya.I also loved the way that Eve continues to
improve her powers over the course of the series as it was interesting seeing
the different ways she uses her powers and the fact that she is much more
confident about her powers in the later volumes than in the earlier volumes.I really enjoyed the interactions shown
between Train, River, Eve and Kevin since before the Sweeper Alliance arc, we
had only seen interactions between Train, Eve and Sven and it was nice seeing
them interact with other characters besides themselves.I am also getting more interested in the
Doctor’s character as he was mostly a mysterious background character in the
previous volumes and it was great that we are starting to see his techniques
unfold a bit in this volume. Kentaro Yabuki’s artwork is always
gorgeous to look at and I always loved the way that the characters’ expressions
are drawn, especially whenever a big fight is going on and you can see the
stress and intensity on their faces during the fighting sequences!

Even though this volume is not as violent as
the previous volumes, there are some instances of characters being injected
with drugs against their will that would frighten some of the readers, so
readers beware.

Overall, “Black Cat
Volume 17: Coming Through!” is another fantastic volume that really opens
up surprising moments for the characters and will surely pave a clear path to
the final battle between Train and Creed!
